New Life
Jun 23, 2009
Life is good!! I'm starting my second year at San Jac. and should be getting my degree in the summer of 2010. Last summer was a crazy ride... to crazy to even try and explain on here but but I'm POSITIVE there are those out there who understand completely!! New found energy, dating, freedom, school, just living life for the first time was amaizing! As I was comming out of my "Crazy" phase (shush yes I'm always crazy but not like that! lol) I lucked into meeting a wonderful man named Wes Cisco. We met in January at a party... went out a few times and I was hooked. I know we haven't known each other for years and years ....but we are now officially engaged! I couldn't be happier and feel like the luckiest woman in the world!! He's more than I ever dreamed of and soooo different from anyone else I've ever dated. (this would be a good thing lol) Anyway.... our plans are to tie the knot sometime in the spring or summer of next year... probably after I graduate.
I realized I hadn't posted anything in a while and thought I'd update a bit. Life really is Grand!!
Oh I guess I could mention .... I guess I'm at goal? I dunno ... I still feel like I have a tummy to lose but I know most of that is skin. Maybe I'll work on 20lbs? I'm bouncing between 165-170 ... wearing between a 4-8 in pants ... but still a large to xl top ... weird.
Goals and Plans.....
Graduate
Get Married
Get a JOB!!
Travel and make a million bucks
Get a new car anddddd.....
Get Plastics!!
Ok I think thats all .... I've rambled enough :) Life really is good... ya know?!!

Jamaica
Sep 20, 2008
OMG all I can say is Jamaica was the most amazing time of my life!!!! I can't even begin to describe the fun I had.... the freedom I felt... the beauty I saw. One week and I am hooked! I want to go back NOW!!!! I'll post a few pics and pray they show half of the beauty I saw.
Trip to New York City!!
Jul 29, 2008
Several WoWs on this trip! First was the plane ride ... never EVER flew without needing a seat belt adapter! It felt so nice to not be squished into a seat and have to have that embarassing moment of asking for the adapter.
My Mom went on a trip just like this right before my surgery and asked me to go but of course I couldn't. I couldn't make it to my truck most days .. much less across the country! I was so excited when I got the invitation again and was actually able to make it this time! We saw everything... she walked my ass off!! We went to the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, Empire State Building, Time Square, and a Show! If you get the chance to see Alter Boyz ... omg its funny .. GO!!! That was by far the best part of the trip. We rode the subway, taxis, a bicycle taxi and we walked ... omg did we walk! LOL
I was most impressed that I did a pretty decent job of keeping up with my highly entergetic mother aka the energizer bunny! We took on NYC and although it wore us out it didn't beat us down! We left feeling we did everything a good tourist should do and then some!
Wonderful meals and miles of walking each day.... I didn't even feel guilty about the everything bagle with cream chease and sliced tomato for breakfast one morning because we walked it off well before noon lol. HEY! I was in NY!!! I had to have a bagle!! lol Anyway the trip was incredible and I never could have done this before surgery.
Just one more thing to be grateful for!

My mom has a 2007 Yamaha 1100 V-Star in Black Cherry (oh so sweet color)
I was talking trash yesterday and told her she doesn't really need that bike and she should just give it to me for being "The Good Child" (you would have to know my brother lol)
I was just shooting off my mouth playing with her!!!!!!! She said "Your Right!" "Tell you what ... when your able and when I find a new bike and it will be soon ... you can have this one"
I ALMOST FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She had already been thinking about this cause she is so proud of me for losing all this weight and actually having a life again.
I went today and practiced driving it around a parking lot and I haven't been on a bike since High School!!
I've been SOOO excited you can't even imagine!!!
I have to admit ... that bike is BEAUTIFUL and I can't wait till I can practice alittle more and feel confident enough to actually get it out on the road! We are shooting for sunday but we'll see what the weekend brings!
I'm posting a pic of the year make and model but my new bike has lots of little extras like saddle bags and windshield .... nifty gadgets like that lol

new scale blues
Mar 22, 2008
I never owned a scale before this journey. Mostly because I couldn't afford the ones that went high enough to weigh me.
But for yule I asked for a scale and my mom got me a decent one that weighed over 400lbs. I thought it was decent at least. Here we are in March and its being all wonky and will weigh me anywhere from 215-430 and never weighs the same number twice... and thats when its not giving me errors
So I went to Walmart the other day and actually found one for around $25 that goes to 350 I think? plenty high enough for the new me.
Well its added around 7-10lbs which is actually closer to my docs scales so thats ok... except this week I've been playing catch up trying to get back down to the weight I had myself recorded at lol
No biggy .. I did it WOOT so now I'm back to 333 as of this morning and I honestly feel like this is a more acurate weight.
So dispite the frustration of losing the same 10lbs twice lol I'm ok.
I'm looking forward to next week when hopefully I'll see the 320's
Baby steps and small goals get me through the day
